Custom Table Widget

Overview

The Custom Table widget shows data from a CSV file (spreadsheet).

Getting Data into Dash

There are two different ways to get data into Dash. The easiest way is for us to fetch it from a URL that you specify. Right now we grab new data for table widgets every 30 seconds, but we may decide to change this later.

If you have a Pro or Business account, you also have the option of pushing your data to us. This requires a little more work to set up, but it also means your updates will show up instantly.

The data you provide needs to be in CSV format (details below).

Creating and Publishing the CSV File

﻿First, open a spreadsheet app like Excel or Numbers and type in the data you want to show up in your widget.

Next, you want to save this data as CSV. Depending on what spreadsheet program you're using, this is usually as simple as either clicking "File > Save As..." or "File > Export...", and then selecting CSV.

﻿﻿That's it, you've created a CSV file with your data!

If you want, you can open your CSV file﻿ in a text editor to see what's inside. Notice that there are commas separating the numbers (rather than semicolons).﻿
